Best Swiss Tonneau White Gold Chopard L.U.C. XP Watch Replica

At the Baselworld 2011 international trade show that will open next week, the Swiss watchmaker will officially reintroduce its gorgeous tonneau-shaped chronometer as a 2011 steel Chopard L.U.C. XP Tonneau replica(Ref. 162294-1001) wrist watch. Coming in a deliciously compact case crafted from white gold, the timekeeper features an impressive combination of good design with a state of the art mechanical caliber that is claimed to be crafted solely in-house. Thanks to its off-centered micro-rotor design, the barrel-shaped movement is only 3.30 mm thick, which makes it one of the leanest automatic movements in the whole world. As usual for this niche, the mechanism is nicely decorated featuring diagonal Geneva stripes, a set of polished screws and, of course, has the oscillating weight of the aforementioned micro-rotor winding module fashioned from heavy 22-carat gold alloy that ensures more efficient winding.

Just like the original L.U.C. Tonneau that was brought to market around four years ago, the new fake Chopard L.U.C. XP Tonneau watch is powered by the same L.U.C. 3.97 COSC-certified chronometer automatic movement.

Naturally, the watch itself is also very thin although it clearly didn’t break no records here.

There is still no word on how much it will cost, but, given the manufacture-made movement and a pretty heavy case crafted from 18-carat white gold (there will also be a version in rose gold, for that matters,) the timekeeper will probably be quite expensive.

According to official specs, its body measures only 7.22 millimeters in height, but is sculpted in a way to look even thinner than it actually is. Being 40 millimeters long and about 37 mm wide, the time measuring device looks even slenderer and will certainly allow you to feel quite comfortable even if worn with a long-sleeve shirt with relatively tight cuffs. Its relatively compact size also reduces the risk of the Tonneau Chopard L.U.C. copy watch causing any sort of discomfort that is often the case when you buy yourself an ultra-thin, yet long and wide timekeeper only to find out that it doesn’t sit well on your relatively narrow (or too round) wrist.
